855-533-8881

This number has been phoning my family claiming I am being sought after for check fraud.  I'd know if I performed check fraud.  I have a valid bank account with no issues and haven't used checks in years. Weird how I've had the same number for years and they haven't called me.

Hello,

I have been getting the same calls telling me that I am being sued for check fraud.  I don't recall writing an insufficient fund check, in fact, I don't even have a checkbook.  Please keep me posted if you find out anything else as I will do the same.

My brother received same type call about me.  lisa called from 855_504_3989 with a case number and said they will not go away and will pick me up at work!!  Scam!!

Lisa called a family member  and left a msg that I am being charged wiyth check fraud.  left a case # and rudely said they wll find me, come to my work, and other harassing statements.  Scammer/Fraud.  report to FBI.  Note see also phone # 855_533_8881 same time frame = 2 complaints.

Calls of same type from 855-397-3381 [Amy Sanders] and 855-504-3989 [Lisa] same time period.  Appears to be a group of scammers working together.

They called and they said they were from MSN and they wanted me to renew my technical support. That was a lie.  When I called back they answer with a recording saying hold on and someone with be with you shortly they do not answer MSN.  They called me several more times I did not answer and blocked the number.

1-855-785-2511   this number is not msn its a scam people be aware they stole my credit card details and billed me later

I am scammed by 1-855-785-2511  claiming to be Microsoft and later found they are frauds , already reported to the fbi

If you allowed them into your computer, you have even bigger problems.  I would suggest you read this:


Thanks to Slim, another registered poster here and computer whiz:

Since the scammers accessed the computer, they probably did one or more of the following:
• Disabled the anti-virus software
• Added nasty malware to the computer
• Copied the Contact List (so they can spam/email your soon-to-be ex-friends)
• Copied any financial data or passwords they could find
• Compromised your ID on Facebook or other social site(s), and perhaps on shopping sites.
• "Zombied" the computer, so it would respond to THEIR commands sent via internet
• Deleted some important files
• Asked for money to repair the damage they caused

What can you do immediately after such an attack?
1.  Pull the cables on the computer, or otherwise disable it, so it cannot access the internet.
2.  Change ALL  passwords stored on the computer.
3.  Run FULL malware scans on the computer, in "SAFE" mode!
4.  Change the passwords again, particularly if the malware scans showed anything.
5.  Inform your bank and credit card companies.
6.  Sign up for credit monitoring, and check the status frequently
7.  Backup non-executable personal, data files to an external storage device.  (Executable files might be infected).
8.  You may have to bring the computer to a local repair shop, and tell them the story.
9.  Tell friends what happened, so they can be aware of strange emails from you.
10.  Connect to the internet only AFTER all the above have been done.
11.  Change the passwords on all online accounts.  Even better - access a "safe", uninfected  computer, and change your online account passwords RIGHT NOW.

NOTE:
If your computer set a "Restore Point" while it was infected, any "System Restore" you make will re-infect your computer.  Suggest you delete any potentially infected restore points and avoid setting such restore points until after your computer has been thoroughly cleaned!

You fell for one scam, and might be susceptible to others mentioned on this site:

Honest computer companies do NOT cold-call people, or cause popups from websites to tell them their computers need fixing!

Some scammers even have websites, and falsely advertise they are associated with popular software packages or computer companies; so do NOT believe a "we will fix your computer remotely" site, and allow them access to your computer!

If your computer needs fixing, bring it to a local repair shop
